The cramming is complete, the pop quizzes done. The Rams have three more days to show Coach Sean McVay that they’re quick learners before they head out for summer vacation.

It’s a short one. In approximately seven weeks, the Rams will reconvene in Irvine for the start of training camp, but first they will complete the final phase of their offseason program with a minicamp Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks.

All players — veterans and rookies, healthy and injured — are expected to at least show up for the minicamp, and those who don’t face a fine of approximately $80,000.

The Rams had good attendance during their optional practices throughout May and June. The outlier was star defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who didn’t attend any of the 10 OTA practices because of contract issues. Top cornerback Trumaine Johnson also missed three practices.

This is an important time for the Rams, who under first-year coach McVay are installing new offensive and defensive schemes. The Rams have been able to meet and practice, on and off, for the past two months, but the absences don’t help the overall learning curve.

Receiver Tavon Austin is recovering from wrist surgery and missed all of OTAs. Donald is a huge part of the Rams’ defense, so the Rams haven’t had much time to put their full team on the field and show how much they’ve perfected the new schemes.

“As a coach, you’re always going to want the guys here,” McVay said recently, “but you understand the framework of the way that some of this stuff is set up in the offseason program. I think the guys have really done a good job of kind of understanding, ‘If I’m not here because of some other things that do come up, let’s let it be known.’

“All things being equal, you’d love to say, ‘Let’s get everybody here so that you can get all of the work that you want and guys aren’t missing out on information that’s given.’”

McVay remained supportive of Donald throughout the OTA absence and praised Donald’s communication level and his commitment when he attended earlier offseason work.

The Rams wouldn’t publicly say whether they expect Donald to attend the minicamp, and Donald’s agent did not respond to an interview request. NFL network reported Monday, in an anonymously sourced report, that Donald was “considering” skipping the minicamp.

General Manager Les Snead acknowledged that Donald’s absence from OTAs was due to contract talks. Donald is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2018 season.

The Rams remain optimistic they can get a deal done, perhaps before the start of training camp in late July, but it’s a big one, with league-wide ramifications.

In the past two years, defensive tackles have signed huge multi-year contracts. Miami’s Ndamukong Suh signed for an average of $19 million, followed by Buffalo’s Marcell Dareus ($18 million) and, in April, Carolina’s Kawann Short ($16 million).

Donald is quite a catch. He recently turned 26 but already is a three-time Pro Bowl selection with 28 sacks in 48 regular-season games.

That’s a world-class combination. The good news is that the Rams have plenty of salary-cap room beyond this season. The bad news is, almost none of their defensive linemen or defensive backs are locked up long term, and that includes Johnson.

Shortly after the minicamp, the Rams are expected to renew contract negotiations with Johnson’s agent. They have until July 15 to reach a new deal, or Johnson will make $17.4 million in 2017 then be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent next March.
